Yeah - practically a free fix... Not so much a major problem as an annoyance (I'd hear a huge clang if I hit any bumps). At least it was cheaper and easier to fix than the heat shield rattle near the cat!

Would you happen to have more photos of your car, in direct sunlight? That's a nice color.

I discovered Clover Green Pearl a few weeks ago, but I haven't really found any "proper" photos of the color on a Fit/Jazz. I love dark greens and blues, so this piqued my interest for sure.

That green is awesome! Is that a common color on Fit's there?

We've only had that on other Honda models, but never a Fit.

Ours had a trip to the dealer today to have them pair the new TPMS sensors to the ECU. I got sick of looking at the light on the dash.
TPMS - Was that only on the 2008 and up Fits?

I'd love to add that to my 2007 Fit.

Yeah, only on 2008+ US Fits. It became a federal mandate in the US that year.

I finally replaced my windshield wipers after like 2 years and finally threw down on a set of Weather Tech mats. It rained for 2 days after I got them which was very satisfying haha. Yesterday I used the Meguiars headlight restoration kit and it far exceeded my expectations. R=before L=after Highly recommend.
